    He isn't selling a PPV off of it.

    There is a championship main event. No1 eliminator and numerous good match ups.

    Dude man that's a bit semantic. Fact is its a freakshow bout that has NO PLACE in modern MMA. Dana said he's totally against freak show bouts but then he has Toney Couture headlining?

    Booker would tax his ass with high interest.

    It's a freakshow but an interesting one. Boxing is an element of MMA. If Toney chooses just to box then that is his call but he has had about a 8-12 months of training. Brock only has a wrestling background and a year of training but he improved rapidly because he dedicated himself. What Brock did is not common or easy but Toney is a talented fighter. Old and fat is his problem. If he was young and dedicated I think he could do well.

    I like the odd freakshow in MMA. For me its like watching a celebrity football match. I often enjoy watching a celebrity football match more than a 2 low divisions team face off.

    He looks like he realises he got a little carried away.

    I'm not sure Batista will get sanctioned, his age and history of injuries added to his lack of training and competition could cause a few doubts with a state commission.

    And then immediately wondered how much he had in the bank to cover things when he got fired soon after.

    Attention: everyone. Stop calling Couture-Toney a freak show. Thank you.

    This is coming from someone who is in general disdainful of the product that UFC has put out over the last several years, too.
